<h1>Viewing report and document results in your History List</h1>
<h2>About your History List</h2>
<p>Your History List is an area in MicroStrategy Web where you can store 
 reports and documents from various sources:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>While executing</B></span>: 
 You can designate report/document results to be stored in your History 
 List while you are executing a report/document. While the execution process 
 is running, the Wait page displays several options, including the option 
 to have the results stored in your History List. This allows you to perform 
 other actions, for example while waiting for a large report to execute, 
 and to review the results at a more convenient time.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>While viewing</B></span>: 
 You can send the results of a report or document to your History List 
 while you are viewing the results. After you execute the report and the 
 results are displayed, from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>File</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home</B></span> menu you select <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add to History List</B></span>. This places a copy 
 of the results in your History List for you to view again later.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Delivered from a subscription</B></span>: 
 If you own MicroStrategy Distribution Services, you can have report/document 
 results automatically sent to your History List on a specific schedule. 
 For steps to subscribe to a report/document to be delivered to your History 
 List, see 
<a HREF="History_List_on_schedule.htm">Scheduling a report or 
 document to be sent to your History List folder</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Report/document results do not remain in the History List indefinitely. 
 The number of results that each user can have in the History List and 
 the length of time they remain there are defined by your MicroStrategy 
 administrator. Documents are usually composed of multiple reports, and 
 each report in each document is counted as one entry in the History List. 
 Therefore, a document takes up more available space in the History List 
 than a report does.</p>
<h2>About viewing reports and documents in your History List</h2>
<p>In addition to 
<a href="#To_view_report_or_document_results_stored_in_your_History_List">Viewing 
 a report or document</a>, you can do a number of things to make viewing 
 easier:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>
<a href="#To_view_the_status_of_a_report_or_document_in_your_History_List">View 
 the status of a report or document</a>, if it has not yet appeared as 
 Ready in your History List</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>
<a href="#To_sort_the_list_of_reports_and_documents_in_your_History_List">Sort 
 the list of reports and documents</a></p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>
<a href="#To_view_the_reports_that_make_up_a_document">View 
 the reports that make up a document</a></p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>
<a href="#To_view_the_details_about_a_report_or_document">View 
 the details about a report or document</a></p></li>
</ul>
<p>All of these procedures are below.</p>
<h3>
<a name=To_view_report_or_document_results_stored_in_your_History_List></a>To 
 view report and document results stored in your History List</h3>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>History List</B></span> 
 at the top of any page.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click any report or document name to display the results.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If the report/document 
 you want to view is not yet available, the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Status</B></span> 
 area displays information about the report/ whose results you want to 
 view. For details on status, see below.</p></li>
		
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>The results 
 of scheduled reports/documents in the History List appear as archived 
 results. An archived result contains data that was current at the time 
 the report/document was executed and stored in the History List. If you 
 have a report/document scheduled to arrive in your History List frequently, 
 the report's results may appear multiple times in the History List especially 
 if you do not check your History List daily. The data in each result (each 
 link to that report/document) reflects the data that was current when 
 the report/document was executed and stored in the History List. </p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<p class="whs3">When you retrieve an archived result, the 
 report name is prefixed with (Archived), and the following operations 
 are not available on the report's results page: refresh, re-execute, re-prompt, 
 view details, apply a view filter, rename, drill, create a derived metric, 
 subscribe, email, filter on selections, Report Objects tab, save in My 
 Reports or Shared Reports, save the templates and filters separate from 
 the report/document.</p>
<h3>
<a name=To_view_the_status_of_a_report_or_document_in_your_History_List></a>To 
 view the status of a report or document in your History List</h3>
<p>You can see whether you have viewed a set of report or document results 
 in the History List. You can also see if a report/document has not executed 
 yet, or has failed to execute.</p>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>History List</B></span> 
 at the top of any page.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Refresh my History 
 List</B></span> to update all current statuses.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>View the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Status</B></span> 
 column to see the status of the report/document, as follows:</p></li>
</ol>
<ol><ul type="square" class="whs4">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Ready</B></span>: The 
 execution of the report/document is complete. Click the link to see the 
 results.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Waiting in Queue</B></span>: 
 The requested report/document has not yet executed. The report/document 
 is executed when all reports ahead of it in the queue are completed or 
 removed.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Error</B></span>: The 
 report/document execution process returned an error or was invalid. Click 
 the link to see the error page. If the report/document can still execute 
 successfully, you may be sent to the wait page while the report/document 
 executes. Some reasons for an invalid report/document include a report/document 
 that has been removed or changed in the system, has problems with its 
 definition, or contains errors of another type.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<h3>
<a name=To_sort_the_list_of_reports_and_documents_in_your_History_List></a>To 
 sort the list of reports and documents in your History List</h3>
<p>You can sort items in the History List by Name, Status, or Message Creation 
 Time (which is the time when the report or document was finished executing 
 so it could be sent to the History List).</p>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>History List</B></span> 
 link at the top of MicroStrategy Web.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click the sort triangle in either the Name, Status, 
 or Message Creation Time column headings. The reports and documents are 
 sorted according to the selected column heading. Click again to reverse 
 the sort order.</p></li>
</ol>
<h3>
<a name=To_view_the_reports_that_make_up_a_document></a>To view the 
 reports that make up a document</h3>
<p>When documents are added to the History List, they are displayed in 
 the History List as one item. You can see which individual reports make 
 up the documents in the History List.</p>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>History List</B></span> 
 link at the top of MicroStrategy Web.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show children 
 reports for documents</B></span> icon <img src="images/hlistchildrenreports.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="20px" height="19px" border="0" class="img_whs5"> at the top right of the History List. A list 
 of reports is displayed for each document in the History List.</p></li>
